In case you haven't heard, we're living in a Golden Age of
Coffee. (Note: Please don't actually go around calling it
that.) Thanks to a new generation of purveyors bent on returning
craft and artistry to the beverage—like Ninth Street Espresso in
New York (the espresso comes only in triple-shot form) and
Stumptown in Portland, Oregon (thirty-five different brews; Prouvé
chairs in which to enjoy it)—there's now a wealth of coffee in
America so rich and flavorful it'll remind you why you
originally fell in love with the stuff. Here are the ten best
places to get your daily fix.

Report AbuseIf you're in San Francisco, definitely try Blue Bottle Coffee and 4 Barrel Coffee. Both are well known with the locals and serve great coffee. :)

Report AbuseFor anyone who really loves coffee or thinks they might want to learn to love coffee, you couldn't pick 10 better shops. If you think coffee is just for adding caffeine to your hot milkshake with syrup, look somewhere else. Most of these shops don't even serve syrups!
